If you’ve been looking for a game the will test your abilities as a gamer then you can stop your searching; Spelunky is here and it’s brutal.

There’s nothing easy about Spelunky, the randomised areas ensure that you can’t memorise the paths and the method of throwing you all the way back to the beginning when you mess up feel slightly cruel at first, but once you realise that you’re only back at the beginning because you messed up, it’s hard to stay mad at the game. It’s very similar to Super Meat Boy in that respect.

Check out the first 20 minutes of the hard hitting platformer in the video below, we think you’ll agree that it’s an amazing looking game that might be able to take the crown as most brutal Xbox LIVE Arcade title. Will it?

Spelunky is out now on Xbox LIVE Arcade for a mere 1,200 Microsoft Points. Will you be picking it up? Have you already picked it up? Let us know in the comments below and be sure to keep your eyes on GodisaGeek.com for the review soon!
